7.29.12 - New Music - Train

I’m not usually a big fan of Train, but this one is kind of catchy…even if it does carry their songwriting style (possibly my least favorite thing about them)…

“50 Ways To Say Goodbye” is the second single off their latest album ‘California 37’. It follows “Drive By”, which I reallyyy didn’t care for. I know everyone else seemed to like it (it was meant to be “Hey, Soul Sister” part two), but I just couldn’t get behind it.

Their new single is a lot more fun, and I like the idea. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard a song about having to come up with an excuse as to why you are not with your girlfriend, and so you start improvising ways that she died. Dark and morbid, and they appropriately threw in a mariachi band. When was the last time we heard mariachi in the Hot 100 (the single is currently sitting at #92)?
